Meanwhile thousands upon thousands of mental health professionals from counselors to psychologists to psychiatrists have signed letters, manifestos, and petitions labeling the "orange clown" "mentally disordered" and unfit for office.

How would you propose doing that? Gas chambers? That was tried. It didn't work out. Re-education camps? Maybe. But who would pay for it? And how would you follow up, to insure that the graduates of the "program" genuinely did buy the party line, and weren't just faking it? A system of covert snitches, perhaps? Censorship of press and private conversations?

Wouldn't it be easier if you just moved to China, 'dawgg? Something tells me you'd be happier there. Fit right in.

Oh really? Funny, some people think the opposite:
Mental Health Czar suggests conservatism is a mental illness

And of course this. Which, anyone who has observed conservatives long enough, has come to realize without even being told by some scientists:

‘Scientific’ Study Boils Conservatism Down to a Brain Problem

A group of British researchers believe they have found why people are conservative: it’s a brain disorder of sorts.

Scientists at the University of London say that conservatives have an enlarged “fear” area in their brains, and smaller areas associated with courage and optimism. The London Telegraph reports:

But of course they have no bias, lie or even distort anything.

Psychology Today, for one.

For psychologist John Gartner, who has garnered over 41,000 professional signatures to a Facebook petition stating that mental health experts have a duty to warn the public of the dangers posed by Trump’s behavior, the rule is obsolete, established before diagnostic criteria abandoned Freudian interpretation in favor of observable behavior. “It’s fighting an old war,” says Gartner, whose petition was a stimulus for the conference. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog...ump-presidency

Scientific American, for another.

35 U.S. psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers signed a letter to the editor of The New York Times warning about Trump’s mental health.* Its signatories state—despite a self-imposed ethics rule forbidding psychiatrists from offering professional opinions about public figures they have not personally evaluated—they “believe that the grave emotional instability indicated by Mr. Trump’s speech and actions makes him incapable of serving safely as president.” https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...mental-health/

There are numerous other petitions and manifestos and letters of concern that have been signed and circulated by a full spectrum of mental health professionals. Some, as mentioned in Scientific American, come from psychiatrists in small, professional organizations. Others, such as cited in Psychology Today, gathered through efforts by psychologist John Gartner, have spread across the nation and professions.

The letters and petitions are public record reported by the full range of international media, which media always confirm sources in multiples.

Now how exactly would bias be any issue whatsoever in presenting documents of public record? The media may add editorial content, but they didnt manufacture "fake" petitions signed by "fake" mental health professionals.

But the mental professionals may also be biased.
